The helmet, generallyfldesignated thefnumeral? I5, is shaped to. conform to" the upper portion of the individuals head, this is preferably made of thin,- light-weig ht, sheet metal to present an outer wall 16 andspaced inner-wall I1 connected at their lower edges 18.

Y The outer wall I6 is imperforatawhile the mner wall is ,providedlwith a plurality of per-' forations. l9 which are open to the space 20 be-- tween the walls. 9

An inlet tube 2 l, 'leading from t blower of "heated air, is set in the upper part of-the outer- ,wall l6 open to the space 20, in such manner as to deliver thehot air through the perfora'tions lS uniformly over that :portion of the head covered bytl'iehelmet 1 accomplished by- Y the novelconstruction,combinationand arrange- U ment of parts hereinafter describedand illusor an embodiment of1thefintreating apparatus and more particularly to the i helmets used in beauty parlors after setting the i hair in a desirable style. i l
